Alligator Gar

In the early stages of this fishes life, growth in length is slow. They are now starting to put on weight and the bigger ones that were stocked are yet to make an appearance.

The potential for these fish is phenomenal and we are eagerly awaiting our bigger fish to turn into a true fishermans challenge as they are notoriously hard to hook.

They have huge teeth so watch your fingers.

The Alligator Gar species is known as ‘Spatula’ which refers to it’s distictive broad, flat head. They are a voracious predator and prey upon smaller fish which they consume with an almost boundless appetite. Fish of 350lbs have been recorded but these examples are extremely rare.
